mscFrDteErrType

Module: Nortel-MsCarrier-MscPassport-FrameRelayDteMIB

OID (symbolic): Nortel-MsCarrier-MscPassport-FrameRelayDteMIB::mscFrDteErrType

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.562.36.2.1.101.26.1.2

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Access: read-only

Description: The type of error that was last seen on this interface. The error types are as follows:

receiveShort: This error indicates a received frame was discarded because it was less than four octets long or it was missing the Organizationally Unique Identifier (OUI) for a SNAP header.

receiveLong: This error indicates a received frame was discarded because it was longer than expected. This error is currently not used on this interface.

illegalDlci: This error indicates that a received frame was discarded because it's Q.922 address was not two octets in length. This error could also indicate that a frame was discarded because it was received on a DLCI reserved for LMI which had not been provisioned active.

dlcmiProtoErr: This error indicates an LMI frame was received with contents formatted incorrectly.

dlcmiUnknownIe: This error indicates that an LMI frame was received which contained an unsupported Information Element (IE) type

dlcmiSequenceErr: This error indicates that an LMI frame was received whose Keep Alive Sequence was incorrect.

dlcmiUnknownRpt: This error indicates that an LMI frame was received which contained a Report-type Information Element with an invalid type of report.

noErrorSinceReset: This error type indicates that there has not been an error since the interface has been reset.

unknownError: This error type contains the cumulation of receive frame errors that did not fit one of the MIB error descriptions above. These errors include those counted by the following attributes:

ulpUnknownProtocol - A received frame was discarded because the Upper Level Protocol (ULP) encapsulation used was unsupported.

badFc - A received frame was discarded because the frame control character was incorrect.

defragSequenceErrors - A fragment was received which was discarded due to an out of sequence error detection.

What is mscFrDteErrType?

This read-only enumeration records the type of the most recent frame error seen on this DTE interface -- receiveShort/receiveLong for malformed frame lengths, illegalDlci for a bad Q.922 address, the dlcmi* values for malformed or out-of-sequence LMI signalling frames, unknownError for anything not otherwise categorized, or noErrorSinceReset if nothing has gone wrong since the last reset. A sysadmin reads this together with mscFrDteErrTime and mscFrDteErrData when a circuit is flapping, to see at a glance what kind of frame corruption or LMI protocol mismatch is happening without having to take a packet capture.
